foram cells acumulate, and smooth muscle cell MOVE into the endothelial cells
The plaque conties to grow and begins to protude into teh lumen of the blood, and the fibrous plagques are overlayed by
fibrous cap (doem of connetive tissue)
As plaques protude out into the lumen of the vessel what happens to blood supply
there is a decrease in blood supply to regions of heart, brain or peripheral arteries
Fibrous Plaque formation results in ischemia (decrease O2 supply in Increase O2 demand, what happens as result of INcrease O2 demand

LDL (low density lipoprotein) is a major cause of
injury to the endothelium and smooth muscle
What happens when LDL becomes trapped in a vessel wall
it undergoes oxidation
What happens to Oxidized LDL
is taken up by macrophages to form foam cells
Oxidized LDL also stimulates what in vessel wall
inflammatory processes in vessel walls
HDL are associated with decrease CVD risk, what does HDL do
HDL promotes lipid removal from the atheroscletoic plaque
By promting cholesterol efflux HDL prevents
the formation of foam cells in the vessel wall
30% of CHD deaths are attribtable to smoking, a smokers risk for developing CVD is directly related to
the number of cigaretes smoked per day
What does smoking do to HDL and LDL levels
smoking decrease HDL and increase LDL
Smoking icrease carbon monoxide levels in blood can
increase the risk for injury to endothelium
Does smoking also constrict arteries and increases the tendency of blood to clot

YES
Abdominal obesity is a wiast circufererence >
102cm men
>88 cm in women
Visercal fat is most located in abdominal cavity and is MORE METABOLICALLY active than
Subcutnaeous fat
The traditional veiw of Adispose (fat) tissue was energy storage depo, protects vital organ and conserves body heat when is comtemporary view
Fat is metabolically active endocrine organ which secrete cytokines and prothrombic markers into the circulation
Obesity is a state of
choronic low-grade inflammation
What are inflammatory mediators released from adipose tissue
IL-6, TNF, which increase CRP production in liver
Infammaltory mediators may explain in part the relationship between obesity and
CVD
Metabolic syndrome is combination of medical disorders that increase risk for CVD, if you have >3 or equal to of the following you have metabolic syndrome

Increased BP
Increased Fasting Glucose
Two primary factors are thought to contribute to pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome:
1. abd obesity
2. insuling resistance
What are metabolic complications of obesity
free fatty acids
cytokines
proinflammatory/prothrombotic mediators
A metabolic complication of obesity is increased Free Fatty acids
Increased Free Fatty acids increases TG's production, decreases Insulin action, and Increases Glucose production
What happens are result of cytokines
decrease adipoentic (protective cytokine), and increase resistin
What happesn as result of decrease adiponectin and increasing resistin
decrease insulin sensitivity and pro-inflammatory states
What happesn as result of proinfallmatory and prothromtic mediators (increase IL, TNF, and PAI-1)
inflammation and prothrombotic state
Insulin resistance is not a disease, but rather
state that greatly increases the chance of a person developing several closely releated meatoblic abnormalites
Obese person have >FFA, this results in
increases Basal lipolyiss
High levels of FFA overload
muscle and liver, which enchanges insulin resistance
FFA produced by visceral fat are diained into
the portal vein and flood teh liver
Increase Fatty acids to the liver causes
Increased TG production, increased glucose production and decreased insulin action
